The Tijuana River Valley” sod land” cleanup project is now in its fourth month, according to the boundary report in San Diego. But the end is near, according to the International Boundary and Water Commission.
A wind in January that flooded the page and covered it with a thicker layer of dust that had come in from Mexico piled up to to collect tons of trash.
” We had a lot of offers to help, about a group project”, said Morgan Rogers, the place operations manager for the IBWC’s area office in San Diego. ” Everything went very easily, and you can see it’s pretty much the way we were, there’s lawn growing, all is well”.
Rogers claims they began the work in March when they imported workers and gear from Texas.
He claimed that Imperial Beach provided additional assistance as needed before a local builder was hired to remove the materials and debris that crews had gathered and had piled up and had disposed of in dumpsters.
” Over 650 tons of trash has been removed from this site”, Rogers said. Our crew had to walk it using brooms because some of it was in small tiny pieces.
Rogers responded to a question from Border Report about whether flooding and debris buildup are likely to occur again in the future.
” The wind in January we saw, was the third- largest storm flowing we’ve seen since we’ve been recording since the 60s, so this was a great storm”, he said. ” Our EPA partners estimated this was a 26- year storm, so we should n’t see this every year, I certainly hope we do n’t”.
According to Rogers, the remediation should be done by next week.
” We’re not done still”.
